Chinthaka De Silva

I was born and raised in Sri Lanka, a country known for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and warm hospitality. Growing up, I was always curious about different parts of the island, from ancient cities and hill country villages to wildlife parks and coastal towns. This early exposure naturally developed into a strong interest in travel and understanding how people experience new places. My journey into travel began by helping visitors explore Sri Lanka in a meaningful and comfortable way. Over time, I learned that travel is not just about visiting famous sites, but about creating balance between exploration, relaxation, and local culture. I enjoy planning routes, discovering scenic drives, and recommending experiences that feel genuine rather than rushed. What motivates me most is seeing travelers enjoy Sri Lanka at a comfortable pace, feeling confident, safe, and well cared for throughout their journey. I take pride in sharing my local knowledge, supporting responsible travel, and helping guests leave with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation of the country.

I specialize in planning and organizing travel experiences across Sri Lanka, with a strong focus on cultural, nature, and scenic routes. My expertise includes destinations such as Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala, Udawalawe, Mirissa, Bentota, and Galle. I personally design itineraries that combine heritage sites, wildlife safaris, tea country landscapes, beach relaxation, and local experiences. I am especially experienced in private tours, honeymoon trips, family travel, and customized journeys that balance comfort, travel time, and authentic local encounters.

One of my most memorable experiences was guiding travelers through Sri Lanka’s hill country using a less-known scenic route from Kandy to Ella. Instead of rushing, we stopped at small tea villages, local viewpoints, and roadside cafés where travelers interacted with locals and learned about tea cultivation firsthand. Watching the sunrise over the misty hills and later taking the scenic train ride through tunnels and waterfalls reminded me how meaningful slow travel can be. Experiences like this shaped my approach to designing relaxed, immersive journeys rather than rushed sightseeing trips.

Travelers should choose me as their local travel expert because I am personally involved in every stage of trip planning. I live in Sri Lanka, understand real travel conditions, and provide honest advice on routes, timings, and experiences. I listen carefully to traveler preferences and design practical, well-paced itineraries without hidden surprises. My focus is on comfort, safety, and authentic experiences, supported by reliable local partners and driver-guides. Guests value my quick communication, flexibility, and on-ground support throughout their journey.
